I went into this thinking, alright, here we go , another corny timeātravel drama. Nothing in Kādramaland has really been grabbing me lately, so I figured why not give it a shot. And honestly, Iām so glad I did. The opening is chaotic, funny, and unexpectedly emotional. The drama wastes zero time, we blaze through the execution, reincarnation, modernāday chaos, meetācute, and conflict without a single dull moment. Itās tight, energetic storytelling. And Im Jiāyeonā¦ wow. She is absolutely masterful here. Watching her switch between Joseon dignity, confusion, and comedic timing is a treat. She carries the tone shifts effortlessly. And of course, having Heo Namājun opposite her definitely doesnāt hurt. Suffice it to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes and Iām genuinely excited to see what the drama has in store next.

Intentionally evading taxes is a serious matter. It speaks to one's character, but at least he has paid what he owed. What always baffles me is how celebrities never seem to learn from the mistakes of the people who came before them. Nothing stays hidden for long, especially in the entertainment industry. Your deeds, especially the not-so-kosher ones, always find their way back to you eventually. But I suppose it also shows that celebrities are human; they make mistakes like everyone else, even though some fans want to hold them to an imaginary standard of perfection.
I was frustrated watching ACS on YouTube due to the janky AI subtitles. But now they have AI voice translation…
Lucky you -- enjoy I am cannot wait for the new season to start I am truly addicted to this show I cannot tell you how many times I have rewatched :) Thank you for sharing!
Thereās only a fiveāyear difference between them, sheās 36 and heās 31. I wouldnāt really call that…
I donāt have any issue with ageāgap relationships , whether its older woman/younger man or older man/younger woman. In dramas or in real life, it doesnāt bother me at all. I actually pointed out that there isnāt much of an age gap here since theyāre only five years apart, which really isnāt an age gap. They could be 15 years apart for all I care. My comment was only about the intentional styling and direction choices. Thank you!!
You can see the age gap lol. The actress looks older and im not talking about their characters lmao
Thereās only a fiveāyear difference between them, sheās 36 and heās 31. I wouldnāt really call that an age gap, but she does look older than him in this clip, and that may be intentional
She always looks different in her shows tbh since legend of the blue sea. Most probably plastic surgery and botox…
I figured as much. she also seems to have lost some weight; I noticed it on another recent show, though the name escapes me. I adore her, and I have since Stranger. I always look forward to her shows.
First, Iām a woman, and I would never sit around ātalking rubbish about women.ā I strongly believe empowered women empower women, we donāt tear each other down with insults or slurs. Second, you keep assuming that people who disagree with you have never experienced betrayal. Thatās not true. I have been cheated on before, and I know exactly how painful it is. It destroys trust and can take a long time to heal from. I would never wish that experience on anyone, nor would I come crying here or anywhere else about it.
But even having gone through that, I would never celebrate harm or death happening to someone because they cheated. Betrayal is wrong, but wishing violence on someone or saying they deserve to die because of it only adds more harm to an already painful situation. And finally, cheating is not something only women do. Men cheat too. Betrayal is wrong regardless of gender. Turning the discussion into hostility toward women or suggesting that someone deserves death because of infidelity isnāt really about the story anymore. Try to have a good life. āš¾
You can absolutely criticize cheating or say you have no sympathy for someone who betrays their partner. Thatās a personal moral stance and many people would agree that infidelity can cause deep emotional damage. But the issue people are reacting to in your comment isnāt that you condemn cheating, itās the way you connect that to violence and say you would āenjoyā the consequences even if it ends in death. Whether someone writes āifā or not doesnāt really change the underlying message. Cheating is wrong, but it still doesnāt make violence or murder something to celebrate or feel satisfaction about.
People get betrayed in many ways in life by partners, friends, family, and even employers, and it can absolutely cause anger, depression, and instability. But those reactions are still the responsibility of the person experiencing them. Another personās wrongdoing doesnāt absolve someone of personal accountability for how they respond. Also, reducing the discussion to insults toward women or assuming anyone who disagrees must be a cheater doesnāt really address the actual point being raised.
If weāre talking about the drama itself, a more interesting debate is whether the show excuses its characters' morally questionable actions. Thatās a fair discussion. But celebrating real-world harm against people, even hypothetically, isnāt really about the drama anymore.
Episode 11 had me going. I was ticked all around. Baek Tae J's analogy that he developed Connect In to take revenge on those who abused his sister and drove her to suicide is completely ludicrous to me. What about all the young women and men who were abused because of Connect In? He knew the horrific things that were happening to them and still did nothing. At that point, the revenge argument collapses. The moment he knowingly allowed new victims to suffer, he stopped being an avenger and became a perpetrator himself. When has āthe end justifies the meansā ever been acceptable when it involves the complete destruction of basic human rights? Revenge does not become justice simply because the original crime was terrible. Creating more victims does not honor his sisterās suffering; it replicates it.
And for him to tell Sin Jae that she should understand why he did what he did just because her mother was involved in the cover-up is even worse. That is manipulation, not justification. Yes, I can understand why Sin Jae did what she did in order to save her best friend. But making a deal with the devil and keeping it from the very people who trusted her most, her best friends and partners, essentially destroys them. That betrayal is hard to justify, even if her intentions were to protect someone. To me, a person who chooses monstrous actions to bring down a monster becomes a monster themselves. At that point, they forfeit the moral right to claim victimhood.
I could see Baek Tae Ju coming from a mile away. I was like 90% sure he was what he turned out to be. With that said, I would like to add that I think Jung Eun Chae is carrying this show. I love her as Shin Jae. I hope to see her in more dramas.
I swear if Baek is the villainā¦ Iāll be sick. I love their relationship, but something about him feels off.
Me too, he almost feels too good to be true. I would not be surprised at all if he is, especially since he seems to be gunning for Haeil and the Mother. It definitely feels like a grudge from the past. And do not get me started on the Mother. I believe those who stand by and knowingly allow evil to continue simply because it does not benefit them to stop it are worse than the evil itself. In my eyes, she is the real monster.
Yes, Park Je Yeol and whoever he reports to are clearly evil. He is obviously a puppet, not the master, and they know exactly what they are doing, even if they dress it up as revenge, profit, or whatever else. The Mother, though, knows evil is happening all around her, within her own ranks, yet chooses to do nothing because it does not affect or benefit her directly. I guess evil recognizes and accepts evil.
World is full of incels, one guy is even brazen enough to use misogynistic slurs in every comment of his. This…
I tell, it's truly the wild, wild west out here. To top it off we have the comment section stalkers, how miserable must you for crying out loud. It's a drama but I commend the writers, actors, directors I mean everyone involved in the making of this drama they sure have touched some flaming buttons š¤£š
